Key Details
The Government has determined it is uneconomical to acquire data rights or reverse engineer the part, as it does not own the necessary data. While the intent is to solicit a single source (FAR 6.302-1), other responsible sources are encouraged to submit proposals, quotations, or capability statements. A determination not to compete based on responses is at the Government's discretion. Award is contingent upon the offeror, product/service, or manufacturer meeting qualification requirements per FAR clause 52.209-1. The Government is not using FAR Part 12 (Acquisition of Commercial Items) but invites interested parties to identify commercial item capabilities within 15 days of the notice.

All firms should include their CAGE code on solicitation requests.
